PNG to SVG, by tracing.

Turn a PNG logo or drawing into an SVG of shapes in your browser: traced by vtracer, drawn back and compared. Nothing uploaded.

A logo traced into an SVG: the picture on the left, its shapes on the right, very close when drawn back

A PNG logo becomes a sharp SVG in a few seconds.

Trace it.

Say it is a logo or drawing, drop the PNG and press Trace it: each flat colour becomes its own shapes, laid over one another.

Detail.

Choose fewer colours to merge near ones, or more detail to keep fine edges; switch curves off for pixel art.

Clear parts.

A PNG's see-through parts are left empty; the comparison is made on white.
